Amusingly, when I was at last year's Google Test Automation Conference, lots of folks were talking about their XML output from their test harnesses and many of them weren't happy with it (having to wait for a well-formed XML document sucks, particularly when a human can read the partially formed document and still understand things). I wound up giving a lightning talk on TAP in hopes of reeling in the people who were unhappy with XML, but no dice. Which brings me to my next point: we appear to have no attracted any people from other programming communities to the discussion about the next version of TAP, but I hear that some are using TAP::Parser any way. Does anyone know of groups that are *regularly* using the TAP::Parser for test suites in other languages? I know of xmms2, but that's about it. I'd like to find more for some talks I have coming up and I'd also like to find a way to encourage other TAP producers to use this.
